Abercrombie, Logan Andrew

Surry, Virginia

I have been homeschooled since kindergarten. During my high school years, my family and I were blessed to spend time with my grandfathers during their final days. We also traveled, from Alabama to Cape Charles to Maine—and through sickness, good times, and bad, we turned these adventures into learning experiences. I have participated in several mission trips, ministering to the Navajo Nation in Gallup, New Mexico. My special interests include music composition, songwriting, singing, drumming, ballroom dancing, and golf. I plan to pursue a career in worship ministry. My favorite Scriptures recently are 2 Corinthians 5:7 and Proverbs 3:3–4.

I am one of four siblings, and we are very close. This fall, I will step into my dream of becoming a cosmetologist at Paul Mitchell’s Rudy & Kelly Academy School of Cosmetology. I trust that the Lord has beautiful plans for me, and I am so excited to see them unfold.

Barahona Cruz, Frida Elizabeth

Woodbridge, Virginia

I am 17 and have been homeschooled for almost four years. This year, God has been speaking to me in extraordinary ways. I had been working hard to graduate early, but knowing how close it was scared me. All these “what if” thoughts spiraled into my head, and not knowing what I wanted to pursue was unnerving, too. God settled all of the chaos in a month. God told me to graduate early, that he knew what he had for me, and that I should not worry. He also told me I was destined to become a chef. The passion and skills He had given me were something He was going to use in the future. I am no longer living in fear of what God has for my future. Instead, I am beyond excited.
